Dehydrated purified fresh bile which is used as a selective inhibitory agent in a number of bile media, such as Brilliant Green Bile (2%) and numerous culture media. The process to which it has been submitted, insures an uniform product. The equivalent of fresh bile is attained in a 8 to 10 per cent solution of Britania Ox Bile.
All processes three types of Ox Bile; Desiccated Ox Bile, Extract of Ox Bile and Bacteriological Ox Bile. All three products are processed from Ox Gall liquid. Are tested and based on a USP Cholic Acid reference standard.
The principal bile acids are Cholic acid and desoxycholic acid and occur as the water- soluble sodium salts of the peptide conjugates the amino acids glycine and taurine.
Desiccated: A straightforward drying of Ox Bile liquid, which contains all of the constituents characteristically, found in Ox Bile. None of the bile salts, bile pigments, cholesterol, mucin, etc has been removed. Typical Alcohol Insolubles are not more than 1.0%.
Extract of Ox Bile is obtained by mixing Ox Bile with Alcohol. The alcoholic mixture is filtered to remove the insoluble material. The alcohol is removed and the Extract of Ox Bile is dried. Typical Alcohol Insolubles are not more than 0.1%.
Bacteriological: Ox Bile is a purified, dried form of Ox Bile used primarily used as part of the formulation of culture media. This product is not for food or drug use.
Uses: Nutritional formulas (tablets/capsules/powders), to assist in the removal of cholesterol and fats. Animal feed applications aquaculture formulas. Restoration of old paintings. Culture media formulations (Bacteriological Ox Bile).
Characterization of ox bile, traditionally used in painting, is of interest in the fields of archaeometry and conservation and restoration of works of art.
Bile acids, fatty acids (F), and cholesterol found in ox bile have been identified using a derivatization method that combines the formation of ethyl esters from the carboxylic groups and the trimethylsilyl ethers from hydroxyl groups. This method of analysis is consistent with these others proposed by the authors to analyze drng oils, proteins, and diterpenic resins usually used as binders and varnishes by the painters.
Bile acids from binary samples such as animal glue/ox bile, casein/ox bile and Arabic gum/ox bile have been successfully analyzed using the proposed method. Finally, a method of analysis of mixtures of drying oil and ox bile has been also proposed attempting to quantitatively characterize samples in which ox bile was added to the drying oil for increasing the surfactant properties.
Taurine, or 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid, is an organic acid. It is also a major constituent of bile and can be found in the lower intestine and amounts in the tissues of many animals and in humans as well.
